TL;DR: It is concluded that the smaller size at birth of Asian babies is unlikely to be due to undernutrition of their mothers in pregnancy, and genetic factors, as indicated by the shorter stature of the mothers are more likely to be responsible.

TL;DR: The urodynamic improvement did not reach statistical significance even in the continent group and, thus, the clinical improvement was unlikely to be owing to ephedrine, and open studies of drug treatment for detrusor instability may be misleading unless clinical and cystometric data are obtained.

TL;DR: The absence of a catheter in the post-operative period did not result in a significant reduction in the rate of urine infection and there were 2 deaths in the series.
Abstract: Summary— One hundred patients underwent retropubic prostatectomy. Hypotensive anaesthesia was used and urethral catheters were not used routinely in the post-operative period. Operative and post-operative blood losses were greater than anticipated, especially when compared with the blood lost by patients who have balloon catheters left in place after this operation.
The absence of a catheter in the post-operative period did not result in a significant reduction in the rate of urine infection. Fourteen patients required catheterisation after operation for suprapubic leakage of urine and obstruction of the urethra by blood clot. Clot retention did not occur. There were 2 deaths in the series. Sixty-seven patients were discharged on the sixth post-operative day.
